You can differentiate between ionic, covalent and molecular compounds by the fact that ionic compounds contain elements that include both a metal and a nonmetal. Molecular compounds contain both non metals covalently bonded to each other. While acids most often on their chemical formula start with the element of Hydrogen - H.

For Eg - sulphuric acid
H2SO4
hydrochloric acid - HCl.

1. john needs to create a buffered solution at a ph of 3.5 for his biomedical laboratory
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid  

Explanation:

John could prepare a lactate buffer.

He can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the acid/base ratio for the buffer.

\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\3.5 = 3.86 + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\\log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 3.5 - 3.86 = -0.36\\\\\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 10^{-0.36} = \mathbf{0.44}

He should use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid.

For example, he could mix equal volumes of 0.044 mol·L⁻¹ lactate and 0.1 mol·L⁻¹ lactic acid.

A. A diagram showing the effects of temperature and pressure on  phase

Explanation:

A phase diagram is a diagram that shows the effects of temperature and pressure on phase.

  • A phase diagram shows how different substances are transformed from one form to another.
  • The transformation is an interplay between pressure and temperature.
  • The phase graph represents physical state changes.
  • A phase change is made up of pressure on the y-axis and temperature on the x - axis.
